    #2 also applies to singers of the national anthem at sporting events. We don't need a 5-minute rendition with you lengthening every note. Just sing the song so the game can start.

    Gonna have to defend the head-singers, at least the ones on pitch with open pipes, only because there's an aspect of that you might not be considering. It feels good to let a note fly out. And if you are a little caught up in the communion aspect of church attendance (that is rejoicing with others, not the wine and wafer) it feels natural to let lose. Any prayer that I sing feels truer and purer than one I recite. So, yeah, you get me in church I'm probably going to piss you off by singing too loud.

    Now that you mention it, your avatar sort of gives a clue to this situation. (Not that I've ever heard you sing) I'm going to assume you are the choirmistress of the Lady Muskiette Chorus.
    ...he went up late, and I was already up there.

    Kids at grocery stores with their parents chatting on a phone.

    Kids at grocery stores using roller shoes.

    The single 65 year old woman who sings in the church choir as a lead, totally going overboard, making it unbearable to listen to any song in church.

    Calm down Old Single Aunt Cathy, no one thinks your voice is good, and no one wants you to sing anything acapella, ever.

    I HATE dayton.

    I just got ambushed by a dramatic one hour reenactment of the stations of the cross during Good Friday mass. It had better production value than a Michael Bay movie, and more musical numbers than RENT. So melodramatic. Oh L.A. you never cease to amaze.
